ALL FOR TEE BEST. ,A TH AN' KSGIVI.N'G STORY. ‘•Who whs that I heard talking to you just I.OW?’’ asked Mr. Cray, as he entered the kitchen door. '•Miss Jordan.” replied his wife. “She wants us to drop in to hell eat turkey, this evening. Mr. Hat field and the new minister, and their wives are to he there. We arc to stop on the way home from meeting.” “How does she know that, we are •going to meeting; I am sure'it is not .Sunday,” returned Mr. Gray. “Wnv, William, you know this is ’Thanksgiving,” urged Mrs. Gray. “I am thinking it is mighty little we’ve.got to give thanks for,” re turned the old mnn with a sigh. “Never distrust Providence, Wil liam. Seed time and harvest, he has pro nised, and we have his word for his care even unto hoary hairs. Man, man, don’t take on so. He is the same G >d th it told the chil dren oflsrael to go forward, and did ha fail to opjn their^a way?” and Mrs. Gray left th£ pudding she was stirring,and crossed over to the corner, where her husband had drawn the old arm-chair. “I have tried to serve him for forty year.s,Riche!, and it is a little hard to be left homeless when my hair is gray and my eyes dim,” he replied. “It is written,‘I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee,’ ” she saitf softly.» “And yet, Rachel, the'home we have worked so .hard to pay for wl’lj be knocked down to the highest bidder to-morrow. The roof over our heads shelters us the last time. With a cold, stormy winter at hand we will be etist. helpless out in the snow, I can see nothing before us but the poor house,he answered bitterly. , • “Itsfcems hard, William, hut the irird will provide if. we but trust, hi in,” sobbe 1 til's’ poor, tired wo- mnn. ‘ “Pin a thinking we’ve, been all wrong in bringing up our children. If we had been satisfied for them to begin where \\£ did, instead of where.we left off, the farm need never have been mortgaged.’ - “We -did it all for the best, father. We meant' to do our duty, and if we made a mistake, God knows all about it.” . “Ungrateful children is the sor est punishment that can be visited indulgent parents. I hoped, when our children were small, that they would care for us in our old age! but, instead of supporting us, they are burdens ou yur worn-out strength. The girls can sit and see their mother, wearing oht her strength for them, and Robert— woutd to God, we had buried him |n his innocent childhood.” Theraother sighed heavily, and i then she replied sadly, “If Robert could only do right, I would be rilling to begin life anew. It sms to me his reformation would |ve us both a new lease on life.” “But I have given him up. There no rest for u<, but in the grave, (is destruction is only a matter of line. When I ,'think‘of the bright amise.of his early years, I almost irse the college that taught him he U9e of intoxicating drinks,” ex- laimed the father; earnestly. “It was evil associates, William, hot the book-learning, that ruined |.our boy. Who knows but God may ’‘save him yet ? He does not forget (the prayers we have put up for , him.” “1 reckon hot, but it is hard t* ve a continue ! drunkard,” re- rned the father. "“Net too hard for the grace of With him all things are pos- t>lo. It is hard to give up every- tiling for no fault of our own, hu. God roles, and it must be all for the best.” The old man shook his head with a weary sigh, and his good wife, the partner of all his joys and sorrows, drew her chair closer to him, took his cold hands in her own, and deep silence fell upon the grav-haired couple. The aged parents were not aware I heir conversation reached other ears than their own. Tears sprang to the eyes of two «f their listeners, and Alice and Katie Gray, in-whis pered comments, agreed that moth er’s time to rest had come at last. Robert, stretched lazily on the old- fashioned sofa, could not fail to Alice’s savings, redeemed the farm and the team that their father lov ed next to his children, besides purchasing a new, easy chair for each of the parents. Robert and his assistants had . worked hard to change the old-fashioned, heavy furniture before the service closed in the old church. The old folks were too glad to express their feel ings, hut they fully agreed, while tears coursed down their cheeks, that this was the best Thanksgiv ing that they had ever enjoyed. Wai' CHARLIE OLfiHT TO BE THASKFl’L. says that we ail have a groat deal to be thankful for. Now, I’m sure I don’t sre what we have to be thank ful (or. Father has been sick all summer, and we haven’t half we expected to have, and—” “Don’t grumble, my boy,” inter rupted his mother, looking up from a pile of clothing which she had icon industriously m'ending. “I’m sure there are many reasons why we ought to be thankful We an much better off to-day tiiari hun dred.) of others.” “Who, then?” asked Charlie, doubtfully. “I don’t see how any one can be worse off than we are.” “There are the i’ayior.-^’said Mrs. Lloyd; “your father and their’s were taken sick at the same time. Mr. Taylor has died, and they arc left destitute, while your father was spared to us and restored to health and strength.” “Oh, of course 1 didn’t mean them,’.’ said Charlie, feeling a little bit ashamed of himself. “Look across the way” continued his mother. “There you see poor little Eddie Noyse, who is so crip pled that he will be compelled to use crutches all his life. Now. you have the free use of your limbs can walk, run andjump—” “Yes, I know all that,” said Char lie, “but I didn’t mean him, either.” “Then there are some families which Airs. Brown visited yester day. Two of them hadn’t a bite in the house for dinner, and one fam ily, consisting of a mother and two little girls, had eaten nothing since the day before. Now, although poor, we always have plentg to e;it- have even everything ready for a Thanksgiving dinner to morrow.” To this Charlie made no reply, and Mrs. Lloyd went on: “And one great cause for a gen eral giving of thanks is that our land is at peace. Oh, my boy, you iton’t understand how blest are they who live in a peaceful land. You know nothing of the terrors of war. But y T our own cousins were made fatherless by it.” “Above all, we ought to be thank ful because we are living in a Christian land. God has permitted us to know and love him. From your books you have gained some idea of the c -untries where God is rtiknown—enough, perhaps, to un- kTstand how hb-st we 'ire. Do you •cii v<-now, my son, that you have i er.-il di al to oe thankful for?” “Yes, niam'ii i, I’ve been remem bering it ail—a well father, strong legs and arms to use, no war, and living in a Christian land.” “You will find much more if you only look around and notice the miseries of others. Everyday you will fin i some new reason for giv thanks; and then, instead ot complaining, you would look up to GoiLand.thank him for. "his lov- ; kindness.” Sold Out Too Client). I didn’t used lo biieve nothin’ eddecashuii,” -said, he, as he heaved a sigh like the groan of a sick horse. ’•My boy Dan’l he got hold of books and things and branched out as a geologist. He got so he could talk of strates, and for mations, and bells, and dips, and indicashuns, and one day he said to rae,sez he: “Dad, 1 liar's a coal mine on our land,’ • “How d’ye'know ?’ “I’ve prospected and found indica- shums. That hull hili is chuck ffull of coal.” “And that hull’ tater patch i3 full of weeds,’ sez I. “You see, I sold short on geology and went long on ’taters, and missed it. One day a stranger with a squint to his eye cum along and offered me $800 fur my land, and away she went.” “And—” “Waal, they’ve taken half aniil- yun dollars wuth of coal out o’"that hill and hain’t reached the middle <yet.

He is off’to town now, to spend the day in adding sorrow to the overflowing cup poor father and mother are compelled to drink,” sighe 1 Alice. Robert caught her words, and listened for Katie’s reply. If lie is doomed to a drunkard’s grave, the . sooner he fills it the better for us all,” she returned, in a hard voice. Robert waited for no more, but rushed madly across the meadow and crossing the Jittle brook at its bottom, sought refuge among the rocks in the wood beyond, where he allowed great sobs of remorse to sh kc his strong frame. Feeling his own inability to break the fet tersthat hound him, he humbly car ried his burden to the one who is ever ready to help; and when he returned in the gathering dusk, he was ready to giadden the heavy hearts in the desolate home, with the joyful tidings of the victory he had wpn. “We have something for which to give thanks yet,” cried the fath er. in tears. “Here I have been doubting God’s love and kindness even while he was preparing my heart's desire for my thanksgiving song.” The next week they moved into poor, inconvenient tenement house, but the tender care their children lavished upon them, made this the happiest winter of their lives. Robert succeeded in obtaining steady work, thougli not. such as he would have chosen, hut he was wise enough to understand that if he wished anything, he must begin at the bottom and work his way up. The girls relieved the mother of the greater part of the household work —meanwhile adding a little to the general fund by their busy needles. When spring came Robert obtain ed a position as underteacher in the academy, and Alice, leaving Katie to cure for the old folks, found liyr music had at last served’ a go.id purpose, and daily she bravely sub mitted to the wearisome monotony of a music teacher. Though Katie 9pent much of her time in the dingy garret—no one except, her sister knew of the pa tient work that was destined to add Katie Gray’s name to the long list ot talented artists. After the girls understood that Robert was really to be trusted, he was taken info their secret, and the conspirators enjoyed many happy moments hid ing away from the old people’s sharp eyes. The long, hot summer had been succeeded by the golden autumn, and Thanksgiving had returned to gladden the closing year. In the Gray home nothing had been said about the feast they always had been wont to enjoy on this happy day. At the church door Robert was waiting with old Bet and Dolly when the other members of the family came out. He proposed a short drive through the glowing woods, but merely went by a wind ing route to the dear old farm house, where they found the same conveniences they had left a year before. Everything was in perfect order, and a fat turkey smoked at the head of a well-filled table. To add to. the- bewilderment of the white-haired couple, "a new deed for the farm lay on the father’s plate: “To our dear parents,” was its only explanation,but the father and mother were not long in com ing to the knowledge that their self-denying children had been sav ing the’r hard earned wages tor this precious gift. The-man who had purchased the dear old home stead for less than a fourth of its value had entered into obligations with Robert to transfer the deed as soon as he could repay the money invested with simple interest.

Silt- brought with her a bulking, which showed game in every, movement, it Was not long before every butcher and sport in the neighborhood wanted to buy that dog. The widow wouldn’t sell if at any price. The next thing to buying that dog was to get up a fight between him and another canine of blood-thirsty ap pearance, but the widow wouldn’t hear to this. “I want you to understand,” she indignabtly replied, “that I am a respectable woman and give no encouragement to such things.” -riStiUpthere-wero “two men who did not despair. They began io conspire, and as a result they led a fighting dog into a barn near the widow’s house the other day, and one of them paid a call at the house and said: •‘In course we knows how you feels about this dog fighting. VV’e feels the same, but there's a woman across the alley who owns a dog which she brags on.” ‘•She can’t be no lady,” was the retort. ‘ Exactly, ma'am, or she wouldn’t -peak of vim as she does.” ‘••Speak of me? Why, 1 don’t know her!” “in course you don’t, and 1 should hate to tell you what she said of you.” “But you must! If she’s talking about me 1 want to know wliat she says!” “But, ma’am, you’ll excuse me, you know.” “No, I Won’t; what docs she say?” “Well then, begging your par don, she makes fun of your red hair.” "Fhe does?” “And she ridicules your dress.” “The vixen!” “And she says she never saw such feet on a woman.” “I’ll sue her for slander. I’ll see a lawyer at once!” exclaimed the woman. > “We’ve got her dog in the burn, ma’am. It’s a dog she brags on. She was a-saying that if her dog couid only get at your dog once then—” “But he can!

The arro gant head of sich aslanderfu!,boast- erous woman should be humbled, you k.iow, and it’s you who’ll doit.” The dog was taken to the barn, and he did not disappoint liis. back ers. After a fight of fifteen minutes he was declared victor, and as the referee gave his decision the wid ow’s voice was heard saying: “Good! That pays her for abusing my hair! I’ll fix her on the big feet before the week is out!” She had been watching the fight through the cracks of the barn. at usiiv; srer ; 'Bar ,P’ilO!,Ks. cried in li.i tli • -it iia Fa A Ltt'e i>oy had been tu dry a towel befut : tilts nursery tire-place. “.MantiOh, iis it dune when it i: brown?” he .asked as tho towel be gan to rfvioke.
